what size wheel is it that you are talking about? is it 15"? and if so what is the width? I think that truck takes a 15x5.5(standard wheel size) :salut

d series trucks are 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, some w's are a larger 5 lug pattern. what you need to watch for is backspaceing. anything more then around 3 to 3.5 inches will rub the steering arm. this is on a 15inch wheel.

i am buying some brand new steel rims and goodyear wrangler tires from a new jeep at an amazing price

the wheels are 15 inch with 5 lug 4.5 in spacing.

i am not sure about the backspacing?

thanks,
robert

id check it first, the newer jeeps have quite a bit of inside backspaceing, they will probably rub. i had a set of 7inch wide rims with 325/75/15's that rubbed, bought the right wheel and stuck a 31/10.50/15 in the same spot with extra clearence. the back space makes all the difference in the world! :Thumbsup
